Looking into the topic, the discussion quickly goes to the role of RNA, a DNA precursor with modern roles in biological systems as well. Basically, it seems no scientist can create theories about the origin of life without quickly speculating about RNA being essential from the beginning.

The small one is maybe 3 meters in diam. Edit: Also mentioned is 2006 RH , however, that seems to only sometimes be in orbit around the Earth, usually around the Sun. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2020_CD3 I'm Still Standing, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah [it's an old guy chant for me] |

rxwine Member since: Oct 24, 2012 Threads: 189 Posts: 18761 | The most interesting takeaways from the article (I posted parts on the other site) -When apes to insects protein requirements aren't met with adequate sources, they will overeat other sources of calories in attempt to satisfy the normal protein requirement even to the point of depriving themselves of other necessary nutrients. So, not only can you make them overweight but malnourished as well. Protein rules! -Second takeaway is how easy it should be (theoretically) to calculate the ideal diet. 1. Find out the proper amount of protein you should require for your weight, age and activity level. (Harris Benedict equation) 2. Review your daily intake of protein from the foods you normally eat. 3. Adjust, but focus on healthy sources of protein. Other that that, the requirements are to add in proper amount of fiber. If your protein diet is varied enough you should pick up most if not all the other necessary nutrients as well. (there is usually small amounts of protein in vegetables, so adding those in adds few calories but other nutrients.) -Third takeaway is how processed foods can be shown to really have messed up the balance. You can consume a ton of calories without meeting protein requirements.
Bingo! You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans? Really? |

petroglyph Member since: Aug 3, 2014 Threads: 25 Posts: 6227 | I looked at the Harris Benedict equation in a few links and found a formula for calories, but didn't see how you estimate protein mg needs? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harris%E2%80%93Benedict_equation I've searched in the past, how do you estimate protein requirements?

petroglyph Member since: Aug 3, 2014 Threads: 25 Posts: 6227 | That's about like the formula for converting Fahrenheit to Celsius. I think I came up with a number, not unlike other methods I used in the past. Still, for me, an impossible task. The last official act of any government is to loot the treasury. GW |
